Candy Cranks

I’m Roz Patterson, from Boston MA.

This photo is from this summer by my friend at http://developandreturn.com
The frame is a Livery Super Track.  All the parts are hand selected by myself, and I put the whole bike together, even built the wheels.  The build is in spired by my dog Heidi, who is gray and has a purple collar and purple leash.

I LOVE BIKES MORE THAN ANYTHING! Over the summer I participated in the “I love my bike book”: http://www.ilovemybikebook.com/, and organized a bike race in Boston known as Race to Candyland, which had 47 racers participate, over 12 sponsers, and raised over $800 for the American Diabetes Association (I am a type 1 Diabetic). I am currently working in a Bike Shop, Community Bicycle Supply and I am learning to build frames with frame builder Armando Quiros at: http://quiroscustomframes.com/Quiros_Custom_Frames/Home.html. In the summer I will be in NYC working with Brooklyn Machine Works.  One day I want to own my own bike parts and components company.
